Water knot primary application?

• A. Tying two pieces of webbing
• B. Tying together 2 pieces of webbing
• C. Joining two ropes
• D. Securing a rope to an anchor

Answer: (B)

The Water knot is used to join ends of webbing. It’s the go-to method for tying two ends of webbing together to form a single continuous length, which is why it’s ideal for making slings or extending webbing. It lies flat, is easy to inspect, and works well with flat webbing in anchor and load-bearing applications. It isn’t used for joining ropes or for attaching a rope to an anchor, since those tasks require different knots or methods designed for rope-to-rope connections or securing to anchors. So the primary purpose is tying together two pieces of webbing.
